Info on current bug doing the rounds. Please let me know if you think your pup has any symptoms 👍🏻👍🏻

🐶In the past few weeks we have seen an increase in the number of dogs coming to us with vomiting and diarrhoea🐶
🌡Vets throughout the UK have also been reporting an increase in similar cases.
🌡Research is now underway into potential causes of this outbreak.
🌡Affected dogs have been suffering from some or all of the following signs: vomiting, diarrhoea, reluctance to eat and lethargy.
🌡The majority of dogs have recovered well with symptomatic treatment, more severe cases have required intravenous fluids and further treatment.
🌡It is thought that this may be a contagious disease, so affected dogs should be kept away from healthy dogs if possible.
🌡If you are worried your dog may be suffering with this, please contact your vet for advice.
🌡We will keep you updated with any further news as we hear it.

Really interesting to see how pups use smells to understand their world. When walking, I’m always mindful of the power and importance of sniffs 👍🏻🙌👍🏻🐶🤥👃🐾

Grass seed awareness......
one of my lovely walking dogs was lame with a swelling on the top of his foot, I suspected grass seed stuck in between his toes. Vet confirmed it was a seed and he’s having an operation to remove it 😢. It had gone in between toes and had begun to travel up his foot over a period of time.
Vets said they saw 4 cocker spaniels yesterday with problems caused by grass seeds 😱 they sound harmless but unfortunately they can cause damage 👎👎
I know our lives are busy but it’s worth checking for seeds especially between toes, they are sneaky and pretty unpleasant.
Here’s Pilot being a perfect foot model to show where the cheeky buggers hide 🙈🙈🙈

Super hot today but our priority is keeping pups cool, so I grabbed my wet trainers and we set off up the river 👍🏻😍👍🏻
Cool mats and lots of ventilation in the van 👍🏻👍🏻
Happy pups , happy me !

We often see dogs with mobility issues. Whether orthopaedic or neurological, it can sometimes be useful to offer them a little more support and stability. Bags for life can be great for this. They come in various sizes. Cut out the sides and a support sling is formed.
